  • Anthelmintic Activity of Alangium Salviifolium Bark
    Available online a t www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library J. Nat. Prod. Plant Resour ., 2012, 2 (6):717-720 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN : 2231 – 3184 CODEN (USA): JNPPB7 Anthelmintic activity of Alangium salviifolium bark Ravi Shankar Pandey SLT Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur, C.G _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Alangium salviifolium (AS) is a novel medicinal plant used for the treatment of various diseases including helminthiasis by the traditional healers of Chhattisgarh. So an attempt has been taken to explore it scientifically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation reveals that there is presence of flavonoids, Saponins, phenols, bitter principles and steroids. Three different concentrations (50, 100 and 150 mg/ml) of crude extract of hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform and methanol were tested against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), which involved the evaluation of paralysis and death period of the worm. Methanol and chloroform extracts exhibited significant anthelmintic activity at highest concentration of 150 mg/mL. Piperzine citrate was selected as standard compound and DMF as control. The anthelmintic activity of Methanol and chloroform of bark of AS has therefore been evaluated for the first time. Key words: Alangium salviifolium; helminthiasis; Pheretima posthuma; Piperzine citrate and Paralysis _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Helminthiasis is a macroparasitic disease of humans and animals caused due to parasitic worms such as pinworm, roundworm, or tapeworm. These worms some times live in the gastrointestinal tract, may also burrow into the liver, lymphatic system, or other organs [1]. The clinical picture of consists of skin infection, skin nodules, and ocular lesions. The skin lesions include oedema, papules, scab-like eruptions and altered pigmentation.

Materials and methods: Nephrotoxicity was induced in wistar male rats by intraperitoneal administration of gentamicin at 40mg/kgb.wt /day for 21 days. Alangium salvifolium was selected to check the effect by using ethanolic bark extract with different doses (250,500,750 mg/kg body weight respectively), was given by oral route. Serum parameters (serum creatinine, serum urea,serum proteins, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)), urine parameters (urine creatinine and urine volume) and other parameters like body weight, in vivo antioxi- dants catalase, reduced glutathione (GSH) and Lipid peroxidase level were determined on 22nd day in wistar male rats .Histopathological study of kidney was studied. Results: The three doses of the extracts produced significant nephroprotective, nephrocurative activities with increased doses. The increased actions of nephroprotective, nephrocurative activity in gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity models as evident by decrease in serum creatinine, serum urea,serum proteins, urine creatinine, BUN levels and lipid peroxidation (MDA).The increased glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) activities when compared to gentamicin control group which was further confirmed by histopathological study.

  • Rain Forest Expansion Mediated by Successional Processes in Vegetation Thickets in the Western Ghats of India
    Journal of Biogeography, 30, 1067–1080 Rain forest expansion mediated by successional processes in vegetation thickets in the Western Ghats of India Jean-Philippe Puyravaud*, Ce´line Dufour and Subramanian Aravajy French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry, India Abstract Aim The objective of this study was to document succession from grassland thickets to rain forest, and to provide evidence for their potential as restoration tools. Location The Linganamakki region (State of Karnataka) of the Central Western Ghats of India. Method We selected thirty vegetation thickets ranging from 4 to 439 m2 in area in the vicinity of rain forest. The area of each small thicket was estimated as an oval using its maximum length and its maximum width. When the shape was irregular (mostly in large thickets) the limits of the thicket were mapped and the area calculated from the map. Plant species were identified, the number of individuals was estimated and their heights measured. Results There was a progression in the thickets from early to late successional species. Small thickets were characterized by ecotone species and savanna trees such as Catun- aregam dumetorum. Savanna trees served as a nucleus for thicket formation. Colonizing species were mostly bird-dispersed. As succession proceeded in larger thickets, the proportion of evergreen, late-successional rain forest trees increased. The species com- position of the large thickets differed depending on the species composition of repro- ductive adults in the nearby forested areas. The species within small thickets were also found in the large thickets. The nestedness in species composition suggested that species turnover was deterministic based on thicket size.

  • A Review on a Few Medicinal Plants Possessing Anticancer Activity Against Human Breast Cancer
    International Journal of PharmTech Research CODEN (USA): IJPRIF, ISSN: 0974-4304 Vol.9, No.3, pp 333-365, 2016 A Review on a few medicinal plants possessing anticancer activity against human breast cancer Jaikumar B, Jasmine R* PG Research Department of Biotechnology, Bishop Heber College, Trichy-17, India Abstract: Breast Cancer is known to be the second most common cause of death. So there has been intense research on various plant resources to develop novel anticancer agents against breast cancer.Herbal medicine is one of the most commonly used complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) by people with cancer. Some studies have shown that as many as 6 out of every 10 people with cancer (60%) use herbal remedies alongside conventional cancer treatments. There are many different types of herbal medicines and some of them overlap with foods. Commonly used plants include Echinacea, St John’s Wort, green tea and ginger. From the past several years, medicinal plants have been proved to be an important natural source for cancer therapy with fewer side effects. There are many natural cytotoxic drugs available, which needs further improvement and development of new drugs. An attempt has been made to review some medicinal plants used for the prevention and treatment of cancer. This article considers a few medicinal plants used anticancer activity against breast cancer cell line(MCF- 7). It will be helpful to explore the medicinal value of plants and for new drug discovery from them for the researchers and scientists around the globe. Keywords: Medicinal plants, Anticancer, MTT assay, MCF-7 cells. Introduction Cancer is a general term applied of series of malignant diseases that may affect different parts of body.
